Bug#1071199: O: wicd -- wired and wireless network manager written in Python

It's in bad shape > for long enough and I have enough other packages which need my time. Hi Axel, happy to discuss it at MiniDebConf in Berlin right now. But likely the outcome you depicted, it seems to be the correct way forward. The Python porting was almost complete but no-one stepped in to help me fix the GTK calls made for the X11 UI widget. I gave up and moved on to other distros, so... given no-one else seems to be interested in having it... let's remove it. best, GMS
Bug#947589: wicd-gtk: [experimental] wicd-gtk probably broken: no GTK dependency, still uses 'import gtk'
guys, quick heads up... I could not progress on this topic due to lack
of experience on GTK
anyone willing to help?

Though I do now have a problem of testing now, as there are neither gtk
based tests, neither a way to test without involving my os...I've tried
some symlinking inside /usr/share/wicd/gtk/ as wicd.ui gets copied
from the data/ folder within the source code there.
Now, if anybody has an idea or a system that he/she is fine to break
for testing... get in contact with me
Stacktrace follows... I already did substitute GtkProgressBar
